Bringing home your newborn for the first time is a joyous experience and something you will remember forever. You will want to do anything and everything you can to care for your baby and one of the things that is a valuable investment is a baby monitor.

TIP–apparently they are clearing the Summer video baby monitors with the fixed monitor (not the portable, but you can put the screen by your bed) out of Target. I bought two last week to give as baby gifts for (GET THIS) $35 each! Talk about the best present ever. Anyway, if you are at Target, walk down the end of the row by the baby-related appliances and check for red stickers.

Great list! The one bit of advice I’d give you is about the stroller. It’s crazy that it takes two hands for putting up and collapsing! I think you’re totally right that it must not have been designed by a mom. Seriously crazy. So I wanted to comment because I absolutely love my strollers. First, I have to say that they’re not glamorous. We didn’t want to spend crazy amounts on a stroller, so I didn’t go for any of the cool, trendy ones. . .Bugaboo, Phil and Ted’s, Bob, or even MacLaren. What did we get? Good old Graco. Like I said, not glamorous. But while I have heard lots of complaints about other strollers, I haven’t had a single one about mine–and now I’ve purchased two of them! We had the MetroLite trave system when our first was born, and when our second was born last year we bought the Quattro Tour Duo, a double stroller. And I seriously love them both. Graco has a very cool “gravity collapse” feature that is specifically made to be one-handed. You push one button on the handle, then twist that part of the handle, and it literally just glides on down to the ground by itself, by force of gravity. I can easily do it while holding a squirming 10-month-old in the other arm. And that’s even for the double stroller! And putting it up is just as easy. I can be holding the baby in one arm, grab the little tab that releases the stroller, and pull it on up–it just glides and isn’t heavy or awkward at all.

Anyway. Just a little plug for strollers that really are easy to use, and seem to have been designed by actual parents.

Great list! I registered for the Baby Bjorn when I had my first 2 years ago. Never really used it except when traveling by airplane. Now that I have a 11 week old I can’t get out of the house without it. Perfect when taking them both to the park or the grocery store, etc. I even take walks with it – put the baby in the Baby Bjorn and the toddler in the stroller.

And just to share my 2 cents on my faves – Can’t live without the Halo Sleep Sacks. The fleece ones are great for winter and the cotton ones great for summer. You just zip them up and don’t have to worry about the blanket falling off or covering their precious little faces.

I also have a Moses basket with handles. It’s perfect for transporting the baby all over the house and up the stairs. I just place her in it and go to the kitchen or go to my desk. Easier than moving around the bouncy seat, etc.

I love Kissy Kissy too. I only got them as gifts since they are so expensive. Super soft and I like to give them as gifts as well.
